We have all waited so long 😆

I want to like this, I was disappointed HN didn't appeal so hopefully this is a winner.

The You Beauty advent releases on 5th October - it’s very pretty. I have missed any discussion about this one so far. Good price but I’m all bought out now.

I think I mentioned it in the last thread. I don't want it but it's a really good price and the box is lovely.

I miss so much of the discussion once the summer holidays are over and I’m back at work. I’m constantly catching up.

@shinny F&M is sold out in store!? I was just considering that one as I love the box and I don’t own anything in it but would use everything except the clary sage perfume. So it would be festive and nice surprise.

They said it had sold out in store so I couldn’t see it but still available online. Don’t panic!!!

I know this is for beauty advent calendars, but I need to share that I've bought the Harrods Christmas chocolate bear advent calendar. The box is stunning and I have such a weakness for Christmas teddy bears 😍🐻

I’ve bought that too 😄💝

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/09/2025 22:41

JoRaRaRa · 28/09/2025 11:18

Has anyone bought the debenhams advent calendar?

Just buy it as you can never have too many advent calendars!

NeitherStylishnorBeautiful · 28/09/2025 22:45

Thanks to those who offered suggestions for my second BAC (alongside Glossybox) on the previous thread. Still pondering!

Although not a multi-brand one, a BAC I swithered about last year for so long that I missed out completely, was the Lumene one and I’ve just spotted a good deal for this year’s edition: AllBeauty currently has a 12% discount plus a free oat milk cleanser. I could be tempted by this…

I've bought that............in my dreams 😂🤣

Going back to Liberty I went via TopCashBack to purchase it & I've got £7.08 in cash back from it.
Although £7.08 is rather a random amount.

JoRaRaRa · 28/09/2025 22:49

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/09/2025 22:41

It's currently not one on my shortlist, I'm just a nosey cow and hadn't seen anyone say that they'd bought it so was just asking 🤣 there is an unboxing from miss boux on YouTube of it though that I want to watch.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/09/2025 22:56

I really like Miss Boux as she seems so genuine & nice too

Thanks @shinny i will dial back the panic! I’m slowly going into winter mode and my OTO pillow spray from the Liberty AC, which I thought would be a drawer of doom but I’ve used loads, is running out so was looking at the F&M this week.

Interesting timing, the same day they release details of the fragrance calendar... I wouldn't be surprised if there's a second drop. But then I'm a cynic.

Thelifeofawife · 28/09/2025 23:39

That’s quite annoying really because I’d been dithering over purchasing a second one of them due to having a good amount of point/points on my account. It would have been a bit greedy, but I found myself repurchasing a lot of things from last years and I’ll probably end up doing the same this time.
Ah well, I’m sure my bank balance will thank me for it, especially as I’m still considering JL as well!

OchonAgusOchonOh · 28/09/2025 23:43

Is there any info on the contents of the SpaceNK fragrance one? There's not much detail on the site.

JoRaRaRa · 28/09/2025 23:44

BakeOffRewatch · 28/09/2025 23:26

That doesn't surprise me that it's the first to sell out, I think most of us on here really wanted it, it seemed to tick a lot of boxes for people. It had a good mix of products, so many full sizes and a mix of every day, luxe and trending brands. I actually thought it would sell out within the first couple of days.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 28/09/2025 23:43

No, hopefully they'll release more info soon. I'd like to be able to compare it with the HN one.

The HN one isn't for me but I'd certainly consider the SpaceNK. I'm annoyed about Harrods as this is the first year they've shipped the calendar to Ireland and I didn't realise until after it was sold out.

I initially said that the HN one wasn't for me, but then I watched an unboxing and went to go smell some of them in town and decided I do actually want it now. I do need to go back and smell Delina again, I think I liked that one but I just want to double check, especially as I'm also pondering over PDM 😳

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 29/09/2025 00:57

@BakeOffRewatch the OTO sleep spray was originally a DOD for me in last years Liberty BAC.
However its actually become one of my favourites as not only does it smell nice but it's the only sleep spray that works!
I'm on the dregs of mine & I've more or less used it every day since January this year.

MidnightMeltdown · 29/09/2025 01:01

Interesting that Space has sold out. I guess because it’s the end of the month and lots of people have just been paid. They used to restock multiple times but I can’t remember whether they did last year. The fact that it’s saying ‘no longer stocked online’ makes me think that they might not.

We might find that others start going now. I reckon that Sephora could be next, or possibly Harrods due to the discount.

MrsBnow12 · 29/09/2025 06:51

I wonder if Space NK are having fulfilment/ warehouse issues, I ordered an advent on Thursday with next day delivery and it still hasn’t been dispatched.

They did last year. They tend to get overwhelmed with the Addy Cals

JoRaRaRa · 28/09/2025 23:45

No, hopefully they'll release more info soon. I'd like to be able to compare it with the HN one.

Byredo, jo Malone and someone else were mentioned. Haven't seen a lot of byredo this year in the calendars so im looking forward to that although they do tend to play it safe with their most popular/ well known fragrances.

It does seem hastily put out in response to selling out the BAC. Usually you get a list of contents.
